A new club award was introduced at the presentation ceremony:

She was a past winner of the Jack Thomson Memorial Cup (for Sports Person / Committee Member) in 1979, when aged 19.
This club award is to be made to the person (be they coach, manager, or team liaison) who has contributed in a voluntary capacity to the advancement of football by inspiring the love of the game.
(The first recipient of this award was Rebecca Roche, player/coach of the Women's Division 5 team, who spoke of Beverley and her contribution to the club.
Also:

Annual General Meeting - due to be held at the Clubrooms, 50 Phillip Street, Johnsonville on Wednesday 11th November 2009 from 7.00pm. Financial accounts, season reports from the Club President and Premier team coaches and Club General Business will be on the agenda. An update on discussions held (since 2008 AGM) of a joint-club & Council proposal on relocation of clubroom facility (on Alex Moore Park). A new Committee for the 2010 season will also be elected. All club members urged to attend.

'State of Origin' presentation - Social club game was played on Sunday 30th August 2009 at Alex Moore Park with the shield donated by the event founder (ex-club member Craig Hopkins, Mens Premier team coach - 2005 season) presented to the winning captain Gareth Elmey (Men's Capital 14 Sinners team) from 'Town' team.

Two raffles (for $20 Superliquor vouchers) were conducted by committee member Shona MacKay.
The dress theme for the function was teams to dress in their own 'team theme' (e.g. 'Phoenix', 'All Blacks') (this was the same theme for 2008).
A Powerpoint presentation of the award winners was done (thanks to Phil & Jo Sale).
Attendance during the evening was 183 (134 in 2008) people. (An exceptional turn-out, thanks to all everyone who attended and for Di Waaka & Michael Underhill for their bar work)
